Don’t believe the portal closes. It’s just nobody else can enter (sans teams still playing or coaches changes)
******* Official Transfer Portal thread ********
- Thread starter 3-D_chess
- Start date
It’s closed to new entrants (with the exception of playoff teams and coach changes). Players currently in the portal can sign with a team at any time.
True I was thinking more along of the lines of where roster is. No spring portal and now roster lot more stable going into spring practice. Minus P which sounds like Iowa zeroing in on we didn’t lose much especially compared to most and what we did addressed that position with Allen and entringer leaving.
Yep. If a kid wants in spring ball he needs to get his registration in quick
See where Iowa decommit nick brooks left Texas and committed to bama. Guess they got to keep the tradition of having former Iowa OL commits on their roster going.
Amazing how we were semi-freaking out about Proctor and it was possibly the best thing for the collective unit. I wonder how much motivation they drew from that in the aftermath.
Actually not. Approximately 30% of players from FBS schools either end up not getting a position or are forced to select a school in a lower division. That's OK, but if the change is being made for financial reasons NIL or to better your draft stock, those players will be sorely disappointed. When Iowa or any other school selects a player from a lower division to fill a spot vacated by a player, that is one spot that an FBS player in the portal will not be selected at.
JF should start a tradition of having former Bama commits on his roster.
Just saw this about the punter replacement:
Former Simpson punter Tanner Philpott is headed to Iowa City after having earned Division III third-team All-America recognition this past season for Simpson College in Indianola.
Philpott averaged 43.9 yards on 40 punts this past season with 16 of his punts downed inside the 20-yard line.
Iowa has a void to fill after punter after two-year starter Rhys Dakin transferred to Michigan State where former Iowa special teams coordinator LeVar Woods is now the assistant head coach and special teams coordinator under new head coach Pat Fitzgerald.
Philpott has two seasons of eligibility.

Strange...thought they were finalizing an Australian. Maybe Philpott is just a depth piece.
I’d assume he’s mainly coming in to be the holder/punter depth.
Assuming his time getting off punts isn’t too slow, shouldn’t make a big difference moving up to D1.
Hopefully he’s more consistent than Dakin & better at pinning it inside the 20.
yea... I agree... however... I discovered something very disturbing about this guy...

Rivals classifies 3 incoming portal players as "elite". And one out-going player as "elite".
When you look at the macro-picture it looks like we are acquiring more talent than we are surrendering. Kudos to the staff. At the same time, the guys leaving are mostly going to FBS programs. The newbys are mainly coming from lower-tier programs.
Having said all that IT IS PRAISEWORTHY that almost all the additions have at least one P5 (the 5th is ND-Wash State-Oregon State) offer. I consider those worthwhile offers and a statement on the quality of the recruit.
And now for the obvious: WE HAVE THE PLAYER TALENT TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS NEXT YEAR.

That may be true, but realize it is in the players own interest to inflate their offer list. You never know when a suckerk will come along and make you an offer.
